The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cooking at Riviere de Galets over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first recommendation isn’t until Saturday the 5th, so the early part of the week is a write-off.
Come Saturday morning the 5th, the swell swings around to the SW at 6 ft with a lovely long 14-second period – proper groundswell. The water’s sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The energy is building, hitting a solid 1712 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the ESE, which will keep things reasonably tidy. This is a reef and point setup, so that long-period SW groundswell will wrap in nicely, offering up better-shaped lines and longer lulls between sets for a relaxed paddle. Keep in mind the combined energy (1712) shows a decent push.
The real standouts, if you’ve got the skills, are the mornings of Wednesday the 9th and Wednesday the 16th. On the 9th, the swell pumps up to 13 ft from the SSW with an incredible 18-second period – that’s an absolute beast. The energy reading is 9783 (very strong). However, the finder notes it’s predicted to be too big for this break, so this is strictly for experts only. The wind is a fresh cross-shore from the ESE, but at that size it’s going to be a wild ride. Similarly, on the 16th, we’ve got 10 ft to 12 ft from the SSW with 16-second period and energy in the 5738-8772 range (strong to very strong). Again, the notes say it’s too big, so only the boldest and most experienced should even think about it.
For the rest, Sunday the 6th drops back to smaller 4 ft SW swell, but the wind turns cross-onshore, so it’s a bit bumpy. Monday the 7th builds to 7 ft from the SSW and a 15-second period, but again the cross-onshore wind messes with the surface. The 8th sees a jump to 12 ft, but it’s blown out by a fresh cross-onshore breeze. After the 9th, things fade into the second week with smaller surf and poor conditions, apart from the big pulse on the 16th.
If you’re after clean, manageable surf, your best bet is the Saturday morning the 5th. If you’re an expert wanting to charge, look at the 9th and 16th, but know the break might be maxed out.
Keep an eye on the horizon, signs of life are coming.
